The quarterdeck is planked and all remaining deck beams are in place:
I traced out the next sets of parts.
So, those will be copied in the near future and glued down to cardstock.
I got my Orel Vasa in the mail today.
That will be fun to modify and build up in 1/64 scale.
I have 4 Orel kits now.
I have a Seahorse De Zeven Provincien coming too.
That will be my first Seahorse model, and it will also be used more as templates than an actual kit.
They will all be a lot of fun to build up.

The quarterdeck bulkhead pieces have been trimmed off:
It is a two step process.
I copied the window pieces twice.
Once onto regular paper and once onto cardstock.
I am using the regular paper to make the lattice by cutting out all the holes with a scalpel.
I am making the window frames from the cardstock and then gluing them together.
The finished window looks a lot better in person than in the pictures.
There are three across the stern.
I have two to go.

I photocopied the plan sheet for the brass photo etched sheets onto thin cardstock.
I sealed both sides of the cardstock sheets at the parts I am going to use.
The pieces that would have been thin brass, I will most likely just cut out and adjust as needed, like the lanterns above.
The pieces that go to door frame mouldings, the quarter badges and other trim pieces, will be fully glued to wood and be carved as appropriate.
The cardstock should reinforce the wood pieces so they don’t split out as they are being carved.

Check out Grainger. They have good stuff and their prices are usually decent.

The lower part of the hull is mostly complete now:
The pintles and gudgeons on the rudder needs some minor paintwork:
I need to paint the ones below the waterline that dingy white.
There are a couple places that need touched up in the same fashion, from where the green on the base came in contact with places it should not have, while the paint was still wet.
Then it will be time to complete the gundeck.- John Fox III, Glen McGuire, davyboy and 1 other

Thank you, Allan.
That’s what I figured.
I made the pintles and gudgeons from card and the pins from pieces of toothpicks.
I embossed the bolt heads with my pounce wheel.
I’ll repaint those pintles and gudgeons below the waterline with the dingy white after this round of gluing dries.

They look like timber heads or bitts to me, or something that fulfills the same function.
They could possibly be tie off points for oars or sweeps as well.
Possibly dual purpose?
